2. Discussion of Proposed Approval Deadlines for Course and Program Changes – Rebecca Mathern, Associate Provost and University Registrar

Catalog Year Policy: Course changes, program changes, and program deactivations go into effect the following catalog year. May 1 is the deadline for final approvals for proposals to change courses or to alter or end programs. Those changes approved after the May 1 deadline become effective the catalog year following the upcoming catalog year.* New courses and programs become effective the first term following their approval for which the seventh week of the current term has not yet begun, unless the specified start date of the course/program is later than the subsequent term.+

Examples:
*Changes approved before May 1, 2020 become effective in the 2020-2021 catalog year. Changes approved after May 1, 2020 become effective in the 2021-2022 catalog year.
